Special Navy – 72006 – Biber “German Midget Submarine”

Description:

Biber “German Midget Submarine”

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a German WWII midget submarine Biber, a one man crew submarine armed with two external mounted torpedoes. Built in over 300 units for coastal defense the type was never a thread to the Allies ships due both technical flaws and poor training on operators.

The kit is 3D designed and injection moulded using metal moulding blocks. The kit’s components come on two grey styrene sprues and one with clear parts. The A sprue offers the fuselage halves, B sprue has the torpedoes. The decal sheet brings markings for four overall grey Bibers and one bearing a camouflage scheme consisting of four colours. The latter and also one grey Biber were also decorated with a shark mouth. The rest of the machines in the kit have only numbers on the tower.
